  • Quinn Bucker: Southland Athlete One Word to Describe Quinn Buckner
    Quinn Bucker: Southland Athlete One word to describe Quinn Buckner: Incomparable August 19, 2009 BY ALAN MACEY Staff Writer Southtownstar "Come all without, come all within. You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn." Thornridge High School basketball star Quinn Buckner holds the state championship trophy in 1971. "The Mighty Quinn," a song by Bob Dylan Quinn Buckner. The greatest athlete in the history of the Southland. Let me tell you why "The Mighty Quinn" is holding a royal flush, compared to Lou Boudreau's straight flush and Antwaan Randle El's full house. Thirty-seven years after he led Thornridge's basketball team to a perfect 33-0 season, culminating with a 104-69 destruction of Quincy in the Class AA championship game at Champaign's Assembly Hall, the mention of Buckner's name still brings so much respect from the people who watched him perform at the Dolton school from 1968 to '72. As athletes have gotten bigger, faster and stronger through the years, Buckner's standard of excellence has gotten brighter. Today's athletes think they are really good. Buckner, who will turn 55 on Thursday, would have "schooled" the best of them. It wouldn't be pretty. On the basketball court, Buckner averaged 21 points per game for Thornridge teams that won back-to- back state titles and went a combined 64-1 in 1970-71 and 1971-72. In the latter 33-0 season, no team lost to the Falcons by fewer than 13 points. Imagine that, 13 points! Buckner was named a Prep All- American.
